Turbah Karbala
Turbah Karbala (Arabic: تربة کربلاء, lit. 'Soil of Karbala'),[1][2][3] or Khāk-e Shifā (Lisan al-Dawat, Persian, and Urdu: خاکِ شِفاء, lit. 'Medicinal Soil'),[4][5][6] or "Turbah of Imam Hussain"[7][8] is the soil taken from Hussain ibn Ali's grave in the city of Karbala. Shia Muslims use it to make turbah and misbaha.[9][10]
Background[edit]
According to Islamic (Shi'i) narrations, "Turbah Karbala" has diverse effects,[11][12][13] and prostrating on it is considered as a Mustahab (recommended) practice[14] during the time of prayer(s).[15] The sixth Imam of Shia Islam, Ja'far al-Sadiq named this soil as affairs trouble-shooter.[16][17]
Turbah which means soil,[18][19] grave, tomb, etc.,[20] is regarded (as a probability) as every soil around each holy grave(s) among the Islamic prophet Muhammad, The Twelve Imams and Imamzadehs; but exclusively it is attributed to the soil of Hussain ibn Ali's grave,[21] and the phrases "Tin-al-Qabr" or "al-Tin" are considered as it according to the hadiths of Shia Imams.[22]
"Turbah Karbala" has various influences, amongst:
- (Divine) reward for the reciter of Dhikr (who keep this turbah in his/her hand)[23]
- High spiritual effects on human (by touching it to the body)[24]
- Safety against calamities, and every fear[25]
- Safety for children (newborns)[26]
- Healing[27]
